The folder of the databases should contain the same information structure as in the case of an installation on a personal computer. Its location is, by default, within the distribution folder with the name /bases, but it can be located elsewhere and named otherwise according to your preferences. Similarly, the choice of names for your bases and .auth files is unconstrained.

In each of the etc, images, lang and src folders, sub-folders carrying the name of the base mybase.gwb hold the specific data for each base.

distribution (details the description of the program folder gw/, only bases/ is described here)

Note that with this configuration, all personnalization happens in files stored in the base folder. A new release of GeneWeb may be installed safely by copying the new gw folder and possibly new copies of gwd/gwsetup launch scripts, CHANGES.txt, README, etc (the last two lines of the tree above).
